Jakarta - Tokyo Love Story
64. Drifting

Andrew Laksema, whose eyes were blue, turned. He took off his glasses and patted Edo on the shoulder who was walking closer to him.

Andrew's speaking accent still felt very thick, but Edo could understand when he spoke. Andrew mixed his language quickly. English, Japanese, Indonesian. But mostly he speaks Indonesian.

Edo's English skills are better than his Japanese. Yes, at least for now.

Andrew then tells her what Seira told him about Edo. About his experience working as an intern at an architect company in Jakarta and all things related to it.

I was surprised by Edo too. Okay, in addition to leaking the secrets of Kalula's life and his lies to Beni, Seira also leaked Edo's story about himself to his papa. Oghh!

Either Edo was initially prejudiced. But if Seira thinks this seems to help his way out in every problem. Look what he did to Beni. After Seira invites him to talk and persuades him, the boy decides not to complain about Edo's cheating to the scholarship sponsor.

Then now due to Seira's persuasion as well, his papa instead gives Edo an internship opportunity in his office.

Edo could only digest all of these things with his mouth agape while Andrew Laksema shook his hand.

"That's dong, Sei. Find a good friend. Positively. Your salary will be calculated by the hour." Andrew sat down again to his chair after patting Edo's shoulder which was still standing rigidly like a robot.

"Eh, oh. Eng-don't do it, Om. I've been quite happy to be given the opportunity to study in Om's office. I am also not allowed to work part-time with sponsors. If breaking the rules is even a danger to me." Edo answered in panic.

Actually, if no one reports it will not be found out either, anyway. Except other companies that are strict and actually require certain students to have a permit to work part-time.

"Either, relax. I will not list your name on the list of interns. Safe. I would never give you the chance if it wasn't because I believed in people.

Udah, itung-itung pennies. You go to the office and think of it again. Seira later told me where my office is. Seira also often plays there if bosen. My office is cool, Do. Not like an office. Relax and play a place. You'll feel at home." Andrew Laksema appeared to be clearing a file while speaking.

Edo answered only "I-iya, Om" with a very obvious nervousness.

Oh, the bule man that Seira first introduced her when she met this house was no less good than Seira. Edo was shocked.

In Edo's shadow of the lower middle class, he thought the rich were all haughty, evil, and degrading. But Andrew Laksema didn't.

I don't know if Edward. In Edo's shadow, Edward remains a villain. The evil rich guy who took Kalula from him. The shadow never disappeared and made him hate the rich. Yeah except Seira and his papa maybe. How many rich people has Edo known in his life?

Ah, there's no. Only Seira and Edward were "rich" in his eyes. It is true that they are descendants of the rich.

So remember those rich moms Roby said drove Kalula in a fancy car. Who her? Edo thought again but his daydream was instantly gone when Andrew Laksema asked him to speak again.

"Don't hesitate, Do. I'm actually quite happy lately Seira is often at home. No more weird friends to his room. You're just a close friend of his lately. Honestly, I am calmer if he is the same as the Jakarta child.

Especially with you. I noticed that you are polite, never messy, do not go to strange places, even ask for internship and study permit in my office, seriously college. I'm glad you majored in architect. In the future I hope we will continue to talk.

Oh, ja. I often go abroad. Sometimes at home too. Titip Seira, yes. Guard him. Don't fuck around." Andrew Laksema then got his daughter's fist.

"Father!" Seira put on a fierce pretentious face and glared at her papa.

Edo just laughed awkwardly. In addition to being shocked because of all these shocking things, he was also shocked because he did not become upset with Seira.

"Thank you, Om. I don't know what to say. Thanks again for the opportunity." Edo looked down politely.

Andrew Laksema laughed again. "Yes yes. Relaxed. Saturday Sunday's college break, right? To the office same Seira. I want to tell you about my office right now but I'm busy. If so, I go. Bye, darling." Andrew immediately kissed Seira softly and left with a pile of files.

"Where? Pleased? Count your experience, Do. Papa's office people are good, really. Who knows by learning this later your language lessons more smoothly. What you like will be different. Your mood will be good, not like yesterday. Keep on fussing."

Seira was instantly chatty.

Ah, Edo could not speak anymore. He spontaneously embraced Seira who in just one day could solve two big problems. Yes, fear issues are reported and problems about him who wants to give up on his college.

"Do? It's okay. I'm glad to help you. I love you, Do." Seira patted Edo's shoulder gently and stroked it.

Edo hugged the girl tightly. He did not know the more he depended and owed Seira, the easier it was for the girl to tie him up until Edo had trouble breaking away.

Maybe this is what is called entangled beautiful girl.

Edo was completely entangled to the point of dissolving into this euphoria. He let Seira touch and lead him. Seira is just lonely. Edo was just an impingement that the girl touted as love.

Edo is dissolved by the discovery of Seira's loneliness that demands to be fulfilled until he forgets his promise.

Edo forgot there was a dinner as well as a celebration of Yuki San-mother's birthday. He forgot even Erina who was angry yesterday and did not want to talk to him earlier threw away her ego and asked her to go home so she could join this event.

Edo...

Edo forgot himself so happy...

Until the ringing of the phone and notification of messages from Roby he just ignored it. His phone is stooped in his backpack while Edo is poked without clothes in Seira's room.

Yeah, Edo just didn't realize that the immature was him. What makes his relationship with Kalula break up is not only because of Edward's deceit, but because he himself is so weak with temptation.

[[[Do, I'm still in college. There's a practicum until night. I still think who the rich mothers were Kalula. Has he not yet? My mind got ugly and slammed everywhere."  ]]

[["Do? Still on campus, huh? Been busy? Usually when it comes to Kalula you are anxious and quickly find out the news. Do?"  ]]

Two messages from Roby were ignored because Edo was busy sweating until he fell asleep afterwards.

Tokyo changed everything.

Tokyo changed Edo.

"This is my home, Kalula. I live alone at the moment. I want you to stay here. I want you to be my personal assistant 24 hours, not just my time at the office. Partly the same to retire again, replaced my son."

Amelia Santono glanced at Kalula who was sitting beside her with a stunned face staring at this magnificent house in the center of the city. Gosh how much is a billion, huh? It's entrenched.

"Let's get out of the car. Let me take you around the house." Amelia Santono gave her driver a code to open the door for her.

Kalula was still stunned. What a palace house is this, huh?
